Yesterday afternoon, the train tracks were traded out for our set of yellow car tracks. Ever since, many friends have sought to create with these toys we haven’t seen in a while! Many sprawling tracks were built across the music rug. The differing heights of all the pieces required friends to really work together to make the tracks fit.

This morning friends helped make some homemade mod podge (just glue and water) for a special Valentine’s Day project. Some added glitter made our art pop!

Friends also gathered around the round table to play one of the Wee Friender’s favorite games, the category game. In this game a variety of objects are hidden and friends must guess both what they are and what category they belong in (transportation, food, household items, etc.) This time our visiting friend Emma described each object for friends to guess!

Today the easel was in full operation as well!

Kindergarten: The kindergarteners continued their work in sorting/categorizing. One of today’s activities involved sorting a collection of bugs into groups based on different characteristics (e.g. happy or sad bugs based on facial expression). After sorting, each friend counted the number of bugs in each group and recorded the answer on paper. Great practice writing numbers as well as sorting. Addi decided to join in too!
